LELAND STANFORD UNIVERSITY.
Laying Ofthe Corner stone and Opening
OF the Work.

SAN Francisco, May IA.
The corner stone of the Leland Stanford,
Jr., University, perhaps the most magnif
Gently endowed institution of learning in the
world, was laid at Palo Alto today. This
marks the actual beginning of the construc.
ton of the University. Designs submitted
by Fred Law Olmstead and J. c. Olmstead
for the adornment of the grounds, have also
been received. As soon as the building ma
terial arrives the structures to stand in the
space known as the great central quadrangle
will be pushed ahead with what speed is cor
sistent with first class work. Midway on the
front of this quadrangle will be the church.
Only the front walls of this will be erected at
first, it being considered essential TO prepare
buildings to be used for class and recitation
rooms, etc, for the students.
OF such buildings there will be three on
each side of the church, facing the large park
in front. The first building to be erected has
been already begun by the laying of part of
the foundation two hundrdd feet west of the
church. 1t is the hope of the architects to be
able to push work on this and five other SIM
liar buildings at the same time, in which case
perhaps a year and half hence there will
be accommodations for many students. Win
dows are arranged so that partitions may be
placed wherever 1t is advisable. The struc-
lures will be of stone and will be rooted with
Mexican til s. The height will be one story,
the church rising above the other buildings,
its tower reaching height of about one hun
dred and thirty feet. The day selected for
the laying of the corder stone is the nine
teenth anniversary of the birth of Leland
Stanford, Jr. The ceremonies Sill be sim
pie dedicatory address will be delivered
by United States Judge Lorenzo Sawyer.
Senator Stanford will seal the corner stone.
The exercises will be concluded by the sign
ing of the endowment of the University,
which will be practically its charter. The
cost is variously estimated at from $4,000,

Annual Report of the SuPerinten-
dent of Indian Schools.

From the annual report of John B. Riley,
Superintendent of Indian Schools, which has
been filed with the Secretary OF the In
terror, it appears that the aggregate ex-
penditure by the Government for the educa-
ton of Indian children during the year
was 81 O95,S 79 The whole number OF Indian
children between the ages OF - 10
wears is 50, S2l of whom Il, 932, or alto. ~
per cent. attended school some portion % the
year. At several agencies nearly ali the
children of school age attend: while at others
less than one per cent are at school
The Superintendent deprecateS the lack or
system i'll the matter of text books used In
Indian schools, and says that 1t renders futile
any effort made by the Indian Bureau 20
direct or control the school-room work He
recommends that uniform system or text
books and study be adopted
Mr.. Riley favorS the policy OF teaching
only English in the Government schools he
says that he has tried to impress upon teach
ers the Importance OF giving the STUDY OF the
language constant attention, and adds that he
has found schools where the pupils, although
they had been in school for several years
could not speak English so as to be under
stood.
The report SAYS that too much stress can
not be laid upon the Importance of prepar-
ing native teachers, and TO this end suggests
that normal school department be eStab-
lished at some of the larger schools.
The Superintendent makes the following
recommendations:
That an industrial boarding school be es-
tablished near the Missouri River, adJacent to
the Sioux reservation; that schools be pro-
Vided for the tribes in Nevada; that Congress
be requested to provide for the education of
100 Indian children to be selected from the
tribes living in the State of New ork; that
Commission be appointed and empowered 70
make a thorough examination of the whole
subject of Indian education, with the view
to systematizing the methods and increasing
/ he facilities as may be deemed necessary.

SHEEP AND WOOL.
Development of Sheep Raising and
Wooden manufactures.

The printed report of Colonel w. +.
Switzler, Chief of the United States Bureau
of Statistics on wool and manufactures or
wool is now ready for distribution, and is
considered by the Bureau to be one OF the
most valuable documents it has ever put
forth The report makes with its appendix
a volume of three hundred pages. 1t
piyes a history of the development of sheep
, raising and wool manufacturing in this cOun-
try The report shows that the number or
sheep in the United States rose from l9,0OO,-
900 in 1910 to 51,0OJ, 900 in 1854, but declined
to f., 900, 900 in 1887. This marked decline
oc .urred mainly in the Southern and West
ern States, notably in Texas, and is attributed
i'll great part to the decline in the price or
wool since 1884.
Great Britain, being the leading wool
market of the world, has always been, the
report says, the principal market for pur-
chases of wool Turkey and Russia have
supply but the Argentine Republic is
now, next to Great Britain, the
foreign source of supply, followed by Aus
tralasia. The imports OF wool rose from L
715,69g pounds in 1922 to ia, OBS 03O pounds
ing 1887. The increase in wool imports has
about kept pace with the growth of Ameri-
can wool products, both having about
doubled since 1860 A series of tables
in importationS and the relations between the
two, as for example, from 1851 to 1865, l61,
900 900 pounds were produced ana 40,OOU,UUU
imported; from 1874 to 1918, 195 100000 pro
duced and 45 900 900 imported; from 1882 to
1856. 297, 90 }, 900 Were produced anu 92,OOO,-
900 imported. From 1922 to 1881 the annual
imports of wool in manufactures averaged
over 80, 600 90 in value, or more than sew
enty-one cents per capita; while from 1872 to
to 1871. they reached over S14, 600, 200, or
eighty-f four cents per capita.
The value of the United States wooden
prob of 1850 was $23,0GOOOO in round
numbers, and of imports l9,OOO,OOO In
1880 the product had grown to Sl6i, OO0, 900,
and imports were valued at S31, 900, OOJ, be
ing So 81 per capita
Thus, while the product of woolens in the
United States has increased since 1891 nearly
seven-fo!d, the imports have increased about
sixty-tvO per cent, but the consumption per
capita has doubled which the Statistlclan
saws indicates in a striking manner the ad-
vancement of wealth and comfort in the style
OF living among the psCDle OF this country.
The statistics of imports and exports OF
woolenS in the trade Of foreign countries
show that the United Kingdom IS foremost
i'll the foreign trade in wOOlens, the imports
during 1885 amounting in value to S49OoO,uoo
and tne exports to Sl15, 100000. France comes
next with imports of $40, 900 and exports
amounting to S7S,0OJ,O0O; Germany
next, with imports of S25, 100000, and
exports of s51,0J0,0Ol There has been
large decline in the wooden trade OF Great
Britain since 1874. This decline, the Royal
Commission on the Depression OF Trade
attributes IN part to the high foreign tariffs
which, it is claimed SHUT out the manutac-
ture:s of Great Britain from foreign markets
